No, from what I have read so far, I think Simran cares for Astha more than ever before. She does not want to loose Astha at any cost. Perhaps she has become overzealous in protecting Astha, is ready to take any crap from her, even have her tear her own daughter's photographs, even forgo acknowledging her own daughter in front of the whole world for the fear of upsetting Astha..........Had it been any other woman, the first reaction at getting her daughter back would have been screaming at the top of her lungs to acknowledge and give her the rightful place as her own daughter, a daughter who was cruelly taken and kept away from for 18 years, damn the world and her spoiled adopted daughter, but she cotrolled such natural instincts only so that her other daughter would and could have more space to accept the facts. It's only a wonder that she remembered Astha in such a tumultuous and happy time of getting her own daughter and her love back.
As a mother of two kids, I know that it is a natural instinct to protect and shield the child who is weaker and take his side more often, pamper him a little more and expect the more matue one to understand the injustice, specially if the weaker child has the tendency to take it all out on you and become aggressive or seems to be drifting away from you......the sense of right or wrong has little to do if it is the question of winning back the love of an emotionally drifted child.......Had Simran treated Astha as the adopted one, she would not have cared.....
I know that if, God forbid, I loose one of my child in such a fashion and get him back , say, 8 months later, I know I will smother him with all the 8 months of love I was unable to bestow on him, and perhaps even become a little negligent towards the other one........it would be wrong, but that's how it is with human and being a mother who cried everyday for the lost of her little one......Simran faced it for 18 years........
Give her a break !!
